The best performance tires are the best tires for wet roads.
So you can't have long tire life and the best wet traction.
Long tire life is hard tread compound, totally opposite of what you need for wet traction [read braking and steering].
Long tire life is a question of saving what amounts to a small amount of money if you look at the big picture.
Potenza S-03's are $127 each 205/50-16. So you will save how much with long tread life? The added cost is not insurance as some suggest. Insurance pays when you suffer a loss. Better tires are accident prevention, a totally different situation. So the added cost is worth quite a bit when you consider the impact of an acccident (pun was not intended) on your life or those of your family.
Will you also have to contend with occasional snow in the mountains?
